Charleston Collegiate School is a co-educational, nonsectarian, independent day school in Johns Island, South Carolina.
History
Originally organized in 1969 by John’s Island, SC, residents as Sea Island Academy, the school held its first classes, grades 7 through 12, at St. John’s Episcopal Church on Maybank Highway. In 1971, the small private school merged with Sea Island Baptist School, an elementary school since 1966 at First Baptist Church of John's Island.[1] Now called Charleston Collegiate School, the institution presently occupies a 30-acre (120,000 m2) campus. Ground was broken for the school’s first building on May 7, 1972, and the first classes were held in the new school building the following October. The school was renamed Charleston Collegiate School in 2002.
